[about Andromache] Why didn't you send her out of the room?
She lost her husband!
Do you believe what she said? That I lured you, that I'm Menelaus' vassal?
Of course not!
I fell in love with you. That's what happened.
This war will end. Things will return to normal.
No, they won't. They'll never return.
What?
I can't stay here. Let's leave... together. We could escape tonight. What do we need but each other? They'll never accept me, Paris. If we don't go now, we never will.
[shakes his head] I can't leave.
Why not?
The city needs me.
I need you. Doesn't that mean anything?
Of course it does. (squeezes her hand) But they took me in. They suffered for me. Hector died for me!
I have a daughter. I haven't seen her in years; I left her for you. Not for anything else, Paris.
My name is not Paris! (shoves her hand away) That's a shepherd's name. I'm Alexander, the name given to me by my family.
But I didn't choose to run away with Alexander. I ran away with Paris.
Well, I'm not him anymore. And Troy is my home.
It's not mine.
The Greeks! They're coming!
